i just want to quickly state that ppj perma banning himself not only wasn't necessary, it is the consequence of a series of terrible decisions made by the moderation team over the last few weeks.

The administration has not acted in good faith, not engaged in good faith, and just done whatever the gently caress it felt like. Whenever a forum would get out of hand, we'd get a few paragraphs of "oh here you go now go away and shut up" and it was loving absurd.

Here's the reason this matters:

This is a community. We exist in this community. Some of us care deeply about other members of this community. With your total ineptitude, you have shattered portions of OUR community. My friends are gone. They can't or won't come back, and it is completely and totally because of your actions. We stay and get angry because we WANT to be here, and we want to work with moderators who engage with us in good faith and are part of the community that we built.

If you can't understand that, and its clear that basically none of you do, then you need leave. And now.

the thing that really amazes me is that apparently all those posters just post under the same name as they have on SA and like, they all got banned by other mods. the loving dude in gbs who posted that ppj spent way more time on their discord than any other was on there and had the same name. what loving worth was any of this poo poo, lmao

How does this stack up against the jack-booted catlady mod purge from the 2010s?

it's because when you become a mod/admin you start posting in the mod/admin only forum and build permanently insular relationships and that's why they all stick up for each other long long past the point where they should've reasonably cut ties

I'll be honest, I thought the FYAD/CSPAM war's next turn was going to be CSPAM getting closed for trying to close GIP or something, I didn't expect it to be, "And now the mod they've been warring with will have turned out to be a Triple Agent."
